What is your source material? MP3's? Or CD's played through
your ROM drive? The originals might be mastered very "hot". Your
tape deck should have an input regulator (either a dial or a slider -
maybe even two for L & R channel on which you can control your
levels).

Surgical spirits on a ball of cotton wool or ear bud to clean the
heads should do it. It'll come away black and gunky - do this a few
times till the cotton wool looks clean.

Dirty pots. Nasty. Get a new tape deck.
